empowering healing & growth
psychotherapy for youth, adults, and families
welcome!
Our lives can be overwhelming. As unique individuals, we each have distinct experiences that make up the journey of our life. Stress, conflict, and struggle are part of life– and they can leave us carrying psychological and emotional wounds. These can become stumbling blocks, inhibiting our growth, our achievement, or our happiness. Whether you desire to address these wounds, or simply seek tools to manage the overwhelm of life, therapy can be a space to help you.
Your arrival to this space is a step in your healing journey. Welcome.
I am here to support you with your journey of healing and growth.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), trained in attachment, trauma, and intergenerational family healing work, located in the Bay Area of California.
In my private practice, I offer depth-oriented psychotherapy, integrating multiple interventions and modalities. I am committed to helping individuals and families find healing and strength to navigate the ups and downs of life. My own experiences and identity inform my ability to hold a gentle, non-judgmental, and open space for you and your loved ones.
values
strengths-focused
intersectionality
community care
I believe that every individual has unique strengths which can support them in reaching their therapeutic goals.
Each aspect of our distinct identity shapes our life experience. These identity aspects also impact the ways in which we experience power and privilege within our society.
I hold this framework in every therapeutic relationship I build.

My therapeutic work is predicated on the value of community. Every person is deserving of respect and care. My work is relational, focusing on helping individuals heal and strengthen community ties, no matter how they may define community.
